McSweeney's ne m'aime pas

[cambro]

I finally got around to submitting a heavily revised version of that Criswell-Pat Robertson thing to McSweeney's, but they didn't go for it. I choose to assume that this was because it's overlong, not because it's underfunny. Anyway, since I took the time to revise it, and since it was originally on this page anyway, I'll just go ahead and inflict

Beautiful!

I've submitted a couple of lists to McSweeney's, and they've passed on both of them. In retrospect, I can understand why. This is most likely a little long, as you said. Otherwise, it would fit perfectly with their other submissions.

I realize now that it's actually ridiculously long, and probably too political to boot. At the time, I justified its size to myself by assuming that, since it was modular, they'd be willing to overlook length and just pare it down as needed.
